Rafael Márquez, the new coach of the Mexican team, has just held his first training session to prepare for upcoming friendly matches taking place in the United States. This is a remarkable event, because Márquez is not only an excellent former player but also one of the legends of Mexican football, having participated in the World Cup five times in his career.
During this training session, Márquez showed confidence and determination when constantly communicating with members of the coaching staff, including Andrés Guardado, a former star and his former teammate on the team. From the 30 players that Márquez had called up for four friendly matches, 17 players were present for the first training session.
Prominent on the call-up list is Hirving Lozano, a player on the Los Ángeles Galaxy staff, who returned to the team after a period of absence. In addition, Germán Berterame, an Argentinian player who has obtained Mexican citizenship and is currently playing for Inter Miami, was also called up. It is expected that many players currently playing in Europe such as Johan Vásquez, Armando González, Álvaro Fidalgo, Obed Vargas, Mateo Chávez and Santiago Giménez will join the team next Tuesday.
However, Márquez encountered a difficulty when Alan Cervantes, a player of the América club, could not participate due to a muscle injury. Replacing him is teammate Isaías Violante, who will take this position in the squad.
The Mexican team will have their first match under Márquez's guidance next Saturday, against Colombia at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. On September 29, they will face Peru at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. The U.S. tour will conclude with two matches in October, one against the Americans on October 3 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and another against Chile three days later at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.
What happens next
The Mexican team will have their first match under Márquez's leadership next Saturday, against Colombia in Baltimore. They will then continue to face Peru on September 29, which will be an opportunity for Márquez to test new formations and tactics before entering major tournaments.
